Brother Seeking Christ, The question I had to answer was just how important is Christ in your life? Meaning how much time is one willing to make for our Jesus? TIME!!!! The secret lies here brother.( 1 Thess 5:18!!!) There no longer has to be any fear at all of one's salvation! If we are born again, then our words and actions will change, but this also takes TIME! ( Philippians 1:6-11) and my good brother I am so THANKFUL that Jesus chooses to always look at us through his light in scripture!!! ( Phil 4:7-9!!!)
Takes heart, and fear not! ( 2 Tim 1:7) Jesus knows our hearts!!! What he wants is for us to renew our minds towards him. ( Rom 12:1-2, Eph 4:22-24, Col 3:10) Eph 4 and 5 is a fine study as well brother! HOPE is having assurance, and assurance lies with God's Word daily!!( Rom 8:1!!) Do not beat yourself up, it really hurts!! I know, until Holy Spirit helped me understand our Jesus much better I was battered and bruised! LOL Find a good Church as well, we all need support, and hang with people who are like minded like yourself!! Words matter greatly! And finally!!!! No matter what happens, and no matter how you feel, NEVER GIVE UP the fight!! Blessing to you!

Hey, Seeking-Christ! I just read your OP. You seem to be about where I was when I was your age. When I was around your age, I went to a 5-day retreat which helped me a lot. I'm not saying that you should go...it's just what I did. I believe that you are His...but that's just my opinion. We all have to work out our own salvation. Though we don't work for it...we already have it as a gift from our Lord. Be blessed!

At 6 years old in this end-times world, most are indoctrinated or brainwashed into their parents or guardians belief system.
You are further brainwashed by the leaders of church or community organizations into accepting their stated way to God or heaven.
I will not go around the bush or in circles, but it appears that you are not saved and know very little about the bible except for what you have been told.
My only suggestion to you is to start from scratch and ask yourself why do you want to become saved. Maybe you will say you want to go to heaven and thus avoid hell.
Well that is not the correct answer.
The first thing that you want to do is to know the truth. The truth will set you free.
Knowing the truth involves knowing what and who you are, and where you came from. Thus the first step is to search and search and search again. The God of the bible states that if you will search for him with all your heart mind and soul, you will find him.
How will you find him.? He will reveal himself to you, not through your pastor or your friend or through your family but through his word. And also confirming himself through his Spirit teaching you.
For some people it may take a lifetime, as many people play God half and half and that does not work.
You will reap what you sow. So if you do not intend to be sincere towards God, you will be wasting your time and maybe the Devil would be a better prospect for you.

Who are you to judge me? I don't know you. You sound like a person who thinks he's one of the elite. I think those people are in more danger of hell, then those who try to be humble and say, "I can't judge, I don't know it all, but He does". How can you tell from this one post how much Bible I actually know? Did you know that I listen to an audio bible daily, and have done so for years! How can a person like that not know something about scripture? I suggest that you don't comment again, until you learn how to properly outreach to hurting people.

This is my final post to you. I do not recommend using audio tapes to listen to the Word of God. Most times those who do so are either jogging or doing something else at the same time, and this is a great disrespect to God. (There might be exceptions, very few, when you do know the word of God, backwards and forwards and in a time of crisis, the audio may help)
As children of God we (who are in the world) cannot judge the world because only God has jurisdiction over them.
But we are expected to judge those who call themselves our brothers and sisters. In fact in judging them, we are told by Jesus, to consider them as a heathen and not to have anything to do with them if they refuse to accept correction.
I do not debate the bible as to each man his own. I cannot put anything from my head into your head. But I will attempt to help my brother if he seems to be faltering and 1st John says that we will recognize those who are God's children by their response to us.
I did not give you any verse references as the appropriate verses can easily be found especially if you have a bible search app or even if you have a concordance.
Again I do not reach out to the unsaved who have rejected God as that is not the will of God. But those who are searching for him, if I can discern their sincerity (sometimes I am wrong), I will sometimes reach out to.
